<title>feat(auth): the recovery key never reaches the hub</title>

Ticking "also e-mail it to me" at registration sent the recovery key R in
the register body, and the hub appended it to the verification e-mail: the
hub saw R in clear on its way out, and the resend door — no captcha — let
anyone who knew a pending username and address have the hub mail a
"recovery key" of their choosing.

The box is gone. The recovery screen offers "E-mail it to myself", a mailto:
link that opens the person's own mail application with the key filled in;
the desktop shell hands mailto: to the system (http, https and mailto only)
and the Android shell to a mail application (ACTION_SENDTO). The CLI drops
--email-recovery-key and prints the key, as before. The hub mails the code
alone, and refuses a register that still carries a recovery_key rather than
dropping it, so an older client offering the option cannot tell someone
their key was sent when it was not.

A mailbox holding R remains, with the reset code that reaches the same
mailbox, enough to recover the account's identities; the link says so, and
it is the person's choice.

Checked in Chrome and Firefox (headless, the real page against a stubbed
hub) and by the CLI's end-to-end registration against a local hub. The
Android change was not built here, and the desktop link was not clicked in
the application.

<title>feat(hub): replace reCAPTCHA with a self-hosted proof of work</title>

Sign-up and passphrase reset sent every visitor's address and browser
details to Google, which needed a consent the sign-up form could not ask
for freely. The hub now issues its own challenge (ALTCHA's scheme, signed
with a key derived from the hub's private key, single-use, 30 minutes)
and the page solves it with SubtleCrypto while the form is filled in.

- GET /v1/users/captcha issues a challenge; 404 captcha_disabled when off.
- [captcha] enabled / max_number replace site_key / secret_key, which are
  now ignored with a warning; MESHBAY_CAPTCHA_ENABLED replaces the old
  variables.
- No Google origin left in the CSP of the hub, the desktop shell or the
  Android shell; captcha_site_key leaves /v1/hub/info.

Removes confirmFolder (addRoot, attachGroup) and the writable confirmation
added in e4f6177, with their two catalogue keys.

root_add, root_update and group_attach leave MNP: adding a directory and
switching writable/removable go through the loopback API (native dialog in
the desktop app) or the CLI. The operator's Settings tab still lists the
roots from any browser, read-only. The desktop app refuses to sign those
ops; a loopback flag change now reaches open pages (publish_roots).

Rotation narrows rather than widens: members still connected receive the
new key, and nothing already shared changes.

The desktop app writes the Mark-of-the-Web on each file it saves on Windows, as
a browser does. Bidirectional controls are reserved characters in a saved name
(portable-name.js and paths.sanitize_for_download, and again in the main
process), so a name cannot display one extension and carry another. The node
refuses uploads of files Windows Explorer acts on by itself: desktop.ini,
.lnk, .url, .scf, .library-ms, .searchConnector-ms (F-19).

Off for an account made there: its identities stay on the device and nothing is
left on nodes. Turned on from the Profile page behind a native confirmation;
each node is settled when its group next opens. The hub keeps a mirror a
browser reads to say why a group will not open; it grants nothing.

connect-src drops https: and wss: in both policies. Checked against Google's
reCAPTCHA test keys: in Chrome widget, token and registration unchanged; in
Firefox the widget loads; no violation reported in either.

node:call is replaced by named operations with checked arguments; hosting a
group, sharing an unpicked folder, key rotation, denylist clearing and a change
of node account are confirmed by a native dialog. Every channel checks its
sender, secrets:get/set/clear are gone, node:start writes the app's own hub.
